ROTFLMAO. Minimalist basher. 
Time would tell how this generation of sedans will be.
20yr's is very young for a car company.
Eg. Korea protected it's home brands by banning Jap imports completely for more than 40 years!
About quality, my dad's perdana has done 220,000km without any major problems (except expected wear and tear lah of course..eg tires, windshield wipers etc, spark plugs, timing belt etc).
I dont believe they are wasting rakyat's money. Money internally circulated to local industries. To the local economy. Proton has stuck to making cheap cars that people earning third world wages can afford. The upcoming gen2 sedan, priced at ~RM50k (midrange) is very reasonable. Even if NAP/proton didnt exist, a jap sedan of similar size/wt (~1200kg class) will cost upwards of RM70k OTR. It will only waste your money if you insist on buying 2.0L upward cars that come with super high tax as a result of NAP. The average malaysian probably couldnt afford a baseline 2.0L BMW 3series that would cost about RM180k OTR (WITHOUT NAP!) without going into debt.
The H-Line, RM55k variant seems attractive if it comes with standard features like ABS and 4+Airbags.

Who wanna go for BMW..why do u take a BMW 3 series to compare,take the honda city & toyata vios is enough to compare against waja..the city & vios was tax higher just to protect proton.."hidup tanpa proton,malaysia boleh" that time all of average malaysian can afford a city & vios.
If u say 20years is still young..how long do you want our nation money to be wasted more? you know why we are getting pull back go hear this & u will know why, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NczMNH0dbEQ (chinese only can understand)
after 20years we should be earning not losing..we should have quality cars like perodua..why perodua is better then proton?tell la dude?
